The mosque is located in the historical center opposite the Ark Citadel. The entrance part of the mosque is interesting. Tall wooden columns with carved tops and beautiful ornaments. There are 20 columns in total. There is a beautiful light dome inside. There is an unusual minaret next to the mosque. Usually the minaret is taller than the mosque itself, but here the minaret is not tall at all and does not exceed the mosque itself in height. A great place for a photo.
I really liked this place! Carved ceiling, wooden carved columns! Cozy! There are benches, you can take a break! Ark Fortress is nearby. There is a large parking lot nearby, it is convenient to arrive by taxi.
The largest mosque in Bukhara. Near the Shukhov Tower, Samani Mausoleum, main market. And the most important attraction is the Ark Citadel. The emirs of Bukhara lived in the Ark fortress until their very last days and prayed in this mosque.
A functioning mosque.
You can also go inside, and even for free.
Interesting architecture. Atypical finish. In contrast to the mosque, the delicate metal tower of Shukhov, located nearby, looks very expressive
The atmospheric mosque is located in the center of the city, a beautiful view opens, there is a House (pond) nearby, locals and tourists are happy. Even here, the Emirs of Bukhara themselves read the Prayer.
It's a very beautiful mosque. The only wooden one. Incredibly beautiful carved wooden columns, which are beautifully reflected in the pond opposite. You should definitely see it with your own eyes. It's not the same in the photo.
We lived nearby. It's a very beautiful mosque. They didn't lock it in, because the mosque is operational. But the wooden carved portal is a masterpiece. All the sights of Bukhara have left an indelible impression.
Incredibly beautiful mosque in Bukhara from the point of view of decoration. The ceiling decoration and tall wooden columns are what sets this building apart from buildings of a similar purpose in Samarkand. The location is perfect for a photo. Nearby there is a picturesque minaret of the early 20th century.
Must-visit
It is especially good here when the "fountains" are working, it is very refreshing on hot days.
Ducks and turtles also live here, and it may be possible to catch them in the pond.
An old mosque decorated with carved wooden columns adorning the entrance. The columns are reflected in the havuz pond, creating the illusion of doubling. Masters of painting work in front of the entrance.
A beautiful mosque and minaret, near a pond. There are benches opposite the entrance, it is convenient to sit and admire from them, but there is something to see. Beautiful carved wooden columns support the painted ceiling. They were not inside, as there is a functioning mosque
Honako is a mosque. Beautiful architecture of the 18th-20th centuries. It was built according to the prototype of the Chikhel Sutun in Isfahan. Can you guess where there are 20 more columns?😉
What a beauty, what's outside, what's inside. Wooden columns at the entrance create a feeling of spaciousness and lightness. The mosque is operational.
It was winter, in January, the bolo house was without water, so forty pillars were not counted, in fact there are 20 of them (another 20 should be reflected in the water), but if you lift your head and look at the stalactites, their carved essence conquers, they were not inside, the outside are somewhat shabby, not restored pillars, but it's worth a look
I recommend you to visit! A beautiful place, wooden columns and ceilings are impressive in their execution, I could not find reliable information about what kind of wood the columns are made of, even the locals call different breeds. Very beautiful!
This is the house of ALLAH as well as His other houses. It was built about 300 years ago. It doesn't matter at all how it looks or has been preserved or what you can see in the house of ALLAH, rather it is important what you can brag about your good deeds.
On the right, an antique dealer is working behind a small door. perhaps the only one in Bukhara. I was walking towards him. it was interesting. I am happy with the visit. jugs and vintage robes
Beautiful mosque outside. They didn't get inside. I envy those who were able to get inside and take a look. Very beautiful entrance to the mosque: everything is made of carved wood: wooden pillars, ceiling; excellent condition, interesting architectural solution.
Under this vault, you can meet shopkeepers with coins and other souvenirs.
There is an old tower and a pond nearby, many benches in the shade of trees you can relax.
The mosque is right next to the Shukhov Tower
A beautiful mosque with 20 wooden carved pillars. The people called the mosque 40 pillars, but this is due to the fact that the pillars are reflected in a pond nearby. The building was built in 1712. It was reconstructed in 1917, at the same time a small minaret was erected.
It is translated from Farsi as "Mosque over a reservoir". There is a reservoir in front of the mosque, which was previously used to provide drinking water to the population.
